I just love any dish that involves a dip. These roasted carrots are like sweet, caramelized fries, and they make the best little scoops for this creamy, herb-packed dip. It’s a match made in snack heaven, if you ask me! The carrots are tossed in a simple yet flavor-packed blend of garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cumin, giving you natural sweetness and a touch of spice in each bite. Plus, they’re kid-approved. If you want to mix things up, try serving them with French onion dip, Rotel dip, fresh avocado dip–or all four! Let's face it: You can never have too many condiments.
